1 By the Name of ALLAH the Most Gracious the Most Merciful Intestinal Obstruction د. أحمد اسامة حسن Specialist in General Surgery and Laparoscopic Surgery To be read in Bailey & Love s Short Practice of Surgery 26 th Edition. Ch 70 ( )

2 Objectives -Concept of Intestinal Obstruction. - Classification. - Assessment & Evaluation. - Interpretation of Imaging. - How you can deal with such a case. - Clinical Solved Problems. - Follow Up.

3 Definition -It is a state of impairment of normal peristaltic transmission or evacuation of bowel contents or both. - Result : (1) Accumulation of bowel content with propulsve evacuation ( Vomitus ).(Proximal). Or (2) bowel distention ( Middle ), leading to Midline pain with subsequent (1). Or (3) Constipation ( Distal ) with subsequent (2),then (1). - It is an Acute Abdomen State.

4 Pathophysiology Mechanical I.O. Proximal to Obstruction -Proximal peristalsis started to increased to over come the obstruction. - If the is not relieved, the bowel continues to dilate. - Ultimately, there is reduction in peristaltic strength resulting in flaccidity and peristalsis. - Proximal distention is due to ( gas and fluid ).

5 Pathophysiology cont. -Next dehydration and electrolytes imbalance started to develop. - At the end Bacterial transmigration will ensue due to decrease bowel wall immunity. - Exudates would pass out of the bowel into the sac or peritoneal cavity. - The bowel may blow out due to increase intraluminal pressure and sloughed bowel wall ( Focused ischemia ).

6 Pathophysiology Distal to Obstruction - The bowel which is distal to the obstruction exhibits normal peristalsis and absorption until it becomes empty and collapse.

7 Pathophysiology Functional I.O. -Electrolytes Disturbance. -Post-Operative.( Type of surgery). - Vascular deprivation: ( Mesenteric Vascular Occlusion ). - Drugs ( anticholinergics, Anasthesea ). - Metabolic. - Neuronal. - Myopathies.

8 Continue Classified into: -Dynamic I.O. ( Mechanical): - IntraLuminal. - IntraMural. - ExtraMural. - Adynamic I.O. ( Functional ).

9

10 Work up - Assessment ( History, Examination and Investigation ). YOU HAVE TO REACH THE DIAGNOSIS. Which type of obstruction and you have to define the cause. - Resuscitation ( Emergency ). - Evaluation ( Assessment with suitable Treatment considering anesthesia).

11 HISTORY ( Symptoms) High Small VOMITING (profuse). PAIN (mild) Abdominal Distention (mild). Constipation PAIN (severe). Abdominal Distention (central). Large Bowel Low Small VOMITING Constipation Constipation PAIN (suprapupic). Abdominal Distention (segmental) +/- small B. dilatation VOMITING (faecal)

12 Examination (Signs) - Signs of Dehydration including vital signs. - Signs of Electrolytes Disturbances. - Abdominal Distension. - Tense Abdomen. - Tympanic on percussion. - Bowel Sounds: ( Aggressive / Exaggerated) = Dynamic O. ( Sluggish / Absent ) = A dynamic or dynamic with fatigability in late stage. - L.N., Ascitis, Hernial Orifices. - Per-Rectal Examination.

13

14 Obstruction by Adhesion Or Band - The most common cause. -It is common due to abdominal surgical operations. - Two Types : - Fibrinous (Easy Flimsy) : Early post-op. period, it would disappear when the cause is removed. The fibrin acts like a glue to seal the injury and builds the fledgling adhesion. - Fibrous (Difficult dense) : If above becomes vascularized and replaced by mature fibrous tissue. -It is due Peritoneal irritation. - It usually involves lower small bowel, and almost never involve the large bowel.

15

16

17 Obstruction by Band -Band is a fibrous stalk of a peritoneal tissue attaching the bowel to the abdominal wall. - Types: - Congenital: Obliterated vitello-intestinal duct, Band of Ladd. - String band following previous peritonitis (bacterial or inflammatory ). - Portion of G. omentum, usually adherent to the parietes. - Treatment : Surgical incision.

26 Hernia ( External, Internal ) External Hernia - Normal Hernia Orifices. - Extra-luminal. - Depends on the level. - Compound ( Two component ). -Incarciration. - Obstruction - Strangulation.

33 Ventral Hernia

34 Abdominal Wall Defect After Reduction of Hernia Contents

35

36 Hernia ( External, Internal ) Internal Hernia -Entrapment of the bowel loops in the retroperitoneal fossae or a congenital mesenteric defect. - They are rare. - Preoperative diagnosis is unusual. - Rx : is to release the constricting agent by division, except if a major blood vessels is running in the edge of constricting ring.

42 Part of the jejunum was reduced, the other part is still in the retrocolic hernial bag and the level of strangulatio n is clearly visible.
